sorry to be a wet blanket, but that isn't true.
Rants, raves, vents and flames are strongly discouraged. They serve no constructive purpose; they start arguments; and they make us look bad as a group. We end up sounding like a bunch of cranky old bats. (now,
you know we aren't really; and
I know we aren't really. but the rest of the world may not read through enough of the board to figure that out. :lol: )
This topic hasn't been deleted or locked for a few reasons:
1. Some responders have shared information about vendors they deal with who charge reasonable rates. (they offer solutions to the problem being grumbled about.)
2. It hasn't gone
too far over the edge of reason or degenerated into arguments over what is or isn't reasonable. (but it is mostly page after page of people agreeing angrily about the obvious. :lol: )
3. It serves as a reminder that we need to shop carefully and intelligently. We need to understand our rights and responsibilities as consumers. We need to remember that nobody can force us to buy their products.
4. It serves as a reminder to look for solutions and not just grumble. In the case of shipping ... if you don't think the price is fair, walk away from the sale. problem solved. ;-)
